Mavillette Beach

Mavillette Beach Provincial Park offers one of Nova Scotia's most spectacular stretches of coastline along the French Acadian Shore. This beloved beach is famous for its sweeping sand dunes, warm swimming waters, and dramatic Bay of Fundy tides that transform the landscape throughout the day. The area has deep Acadian roots dating back centuries, and the nearby village of Cape St. Mary's remains a vibrant fishing community where traditional Maritime culture thrives.

From this vantage point at Cape View Motel and Cottages, visitors can watch the tides ebb and flow while taking in views of the historic lighthouse and colourful fishing boats. The beach itself stretches for over a kilometre, perfect for long walks, beachcombing, or simply relaxing on the warm sand. Birdwatchers will delight in the diverse shorebirds that frequent the area, while history enthusiasts can explore the rich Acadian heritage found in the surrounding communities along the scenic Evangeline Trail.
